My balance rates were fine also even with the cracked pistons.
If you have a bore scope you can look in and see if there is a crack also. Hell tommy just stick one piston in and run it again lol

Maybe we should start a poll and see who all broke pistons and had a lift pump because I had one, and I'm pretty sure Henry and Chad both had one too...

or maybe it's a built trans because I think we all had one of those too... :rofl:

LOL i actuallly though about it but i guess i f have to pull the motr to change one piston i might as well change them all. unless theres away to pull it out with out removing the motor ? Heres a question if the cylinder is good do i need to rehone the cylinders or can i put my new pistons and rods in there and call it a day ?

You can pull the head and swap a piston without pulling the whole engine.

You are "lucky" :rolleyes: Because it is a piston in the back so you can do it without yanking the upper oil pan. Well, you should be able to. I did a #7 piston that way on an LLY ! It's half assed in a way but it'll buy you some more time....
The one i replaced wasn't cracked though so once you get the head off you can check the cylinder..... and go from there.
